Alexis Sanchez offered to Real Madrid for £68.5m

Real Madrid have turned down the chance to sign Alexis Sanchez, according to Don Balon. Manchester United are looking to get the Chilean off their books as his  £500,000-a-week wages are causing problems in negotiations with other players. Real are one of the clubs United contacted in their attempt to offload the 30-year-old, but Los Blancos were unwilling to hand over the £68.5m the Premier League side are after. Zinedine Zidane is said to see no reason to add Sanchez to his squad as he will bring nothing extra. Sanchez scored just three Premier League goals in his 29 appearances for the Red Devils.
